A ROMANTIC STORY.

The Sad Lot of a Loving Father Who Was
Disowned by His Own Wife.
Nearly sixty years ago 1t was my
pleasure to make the acquaintance of
one of the most prominent young men
in town, son of the deacon, the lead
er of the choir, and one looked up to
as a model of beauty and manliness.
His father died and left him hand
some property and widowed mother
to care for, and for some few years
every thing moved on around the
large farm as though moved by a
strong and energetic hand, and in due
time he married the daughter of a
professional man and his old mother
was laid away in the graveyard near
by, where for generations the family
had been laid in honored graves
Specul alton seemed to be the ruling
passion with this young man, but all
his hopes were not realized. The
home and farm of his fathers was
traded away for one in the city and
here disappointment after disappoint-
ment soured his young wife and her
more conservative parents against
him; and though she had family of
three little children. she sought
their friendly roof where the
father was shut out and the
children were sent to school. On one
occasion, some years after, when the
children were OH their way to school
their father met the m, and thinking
they might be his own asked them who
they were, and with tears in his eyes
turned away with a saddened heart,
for he had never disgraced them by
any bad habit, not even by the use of
tobacco, only he and their mother did
not think alike and the breach was
made wider by her parents. They.
however passed away from the earth
while the husband and father traversed
the earth far and near, finding no rest
for his proud spirit which he had in
herited from his fathers. Once in
great while he would be seen going to
the home of one of his daughters, who
was married well, and try to be friend
ly, but he was not we'll received. be-

A MOTHERS PLANT.

Strong Argument Against Sending Amor
lean Girls and Boy Abroad.
The mistakes of my life, says an
American mother, was bringing my
daughters to Europe to be educated.
One is married in Germany and one in
Italy, and as prefer living in my own
country, I must leave them and go
home alone, bu-dened by the anxiety
that sooner or later my daughters may
also feel the same yearning for their
native land and early associations, and
find when too late that wedding for
eigners is a grave mistake. The broad
difference in National habits, tastes,
and opinions are not readily harmon
lied.
Some say they come here to live
more cheaply, as house rent clothes,
servants, amusements, can be obtained
for less money here than in the United
States. If these European-American
were as rational in their expenditures
at home as here, the difference would
be trif1ing. In America they live in
large houses, keep horses and car
riages, entertain company. Here they
keep modest apartment, drive in
cabs, and give few dinner parties.
The present difference in price in all
kinds of clothing enables some travel
ers to almost pay for their voyage. No
doubt our distin guished statesmen,
both Republicans and Democrats, who
are now in Europe, and who have adj
vocated protection in the halls of Con-
gress. will lay in supply Of clothes for
some time to come, while the laboring
masses at home will go on paying high
prices for similar articles.
1t is a grave mistake for the multi
tudes of poor students of both sexes to
crowd to Paris in search of the rudi-
ments of education in the arts and
science. Most of these might have
learned their incapacity by studying a
few years at home. The craze for art
is beyond all comprehension. Young
girls by the dozens. without parents or
guardians, and women of mature age,
leaving husbands and children, strug-
gle here during long years. in a vain
effort to win distinction in the arts
only in the end to be doomed, for the
most part, to positive failure. o.

of him, she forgot for the time the very
existence of the man who sat opposite
her. It WAS out of no kindness to her
that he had refrained from telling her
outright that her lover was dead. He
had been governed by the fear that
such an announcement, coming from
him, would increase Helen's dislike of
himself, and increase the obstacles to
success with her. The exhibition of
her intense affection for Crawford,
which she tried not to conceal, struck
thorns of anger to his heart, and it was
with difficulty that he suppressed the

other effort to win her, and to make it

MR.. SULLIVAN IN THE CABINET.

THE TRIBUNE feels that il Is violating no
confidence. but is merely anticipating the
official announcement little in stating that
John Lawrence Sullivan is TO succeed William
c. Endicott In President Ccveland's Cabinet.
The call which Mr.. Sullivan made upon Mr..
Cleveland on Monday evidently meant moro
than a social meeting Of the two distinguished
men. If it did not have wider significance
why did every Democratic newspaper in the
country publish a telegram in regard to 1T yes
to-day morning, and why did that leading
Democratic organ, "The New-York World
serve II up In special" and introduce IL
with sensational headlines The course Of
these party journals can only be accounted for
on the theory that they all arc aware that Sui
livan's call was the forerunncr Of an event Of
great political importance.
This point conceded and 1t naturally follows
that Mr.. Sullivan is 10 have Mr.. Endlcotts
place. Mark the weighty considerations that
lead To this conclusion. Mr.. Endcott is from
Massachusetts, so is Mr.. Sullivan, hence the
question Of locality cannot be raised against
the change Then again. Mr.. Endicott is Sec
rotary of War, and is not that the very Cabinet
position which Mr.. Sullivan would naturally
seek. and which would naturally seek Mr..
Sulliyanq Besides, it IL well known that Mr..
Endicott has expressed himself as heartily tired
of public life and anxious TO resign, so that
for Mr.. Sullivan TO set his eyes upon this par
ticular portfolio is not to take an unfair nd
vantage Of a fellow Bostonian. or as he him
self would express it, is not 10 hit the Hon.
William c. Endicott below the belt.
We believe it will be the general opinion
that in thus deciding to leave puglism for
craftsmanship Mr.. Sullivan has done n most
sensible thing. The Democratic party has
plenty of pugilists, but it is oonspicuously
short Of statesmen. so that IL MIR. Sullivan
mikes as marked a success in craftsmanship as he
did in puglism he will supply great popular
want in the ranks Of the Democracy. There
is one thing, however which may provo q
stumbling block in the path Of his new am
bition. We fear that Jcffcrsonian simplicity
dwclls not In him, for "The World reports
In its Especial" in regard to his call on the
President that he wore "ycllow dogskin gloves
with black stitching on the back" and carried
O handkerchief stamped with numerous figures
of borscshoes about the size OF trade dollars"
1t NAV well be apprchended from this that If
Mr.. Sullivan entered tho Cabinet his loud and
splendid toilets would be the talk OF Wash
ington-a result which could scarcely fail to
injure the Administrators reputation for
Jtffcrsonian simplicity-a reputation which has
already been impaired with Pie.
II is scarcely necessary TO add that il MIR.
Sullivan becomes Secretary Of War the lion.
